As a teacher, I believe it is important for students and parents to know what type of learning environment they will experience. In my classroom, creativity, compassion, and respect are emphasized. Moreover, students are empowered to become life-long learners, and productive members of society.
As the classroom teacher, I will ensure students are supported and encouraged to develop as individuals. Students are going through a critical developmental stage while they transition through grades six to twelve. Therefore, part of being a teacher is to allow students to express themselves in a way that is unique to them. In my science classroom, students will have the opportunity to develop their own research projects, and creatively figure out solutions to the problems they encounter. I will show students how to think “outside the box” and encouraged them to look at the world through a new scientific lens.
In most cases new and unhinged ideas are often quieted and discouraged. In my classroom, this will not be the case. As the classroom teacher, will foster a safe learning environment free of discrimination for all students. Student’s opinions, beliefs, and ideas will be challenged in a respectful and safe manner free. Students will be required to participate in debates and other written or oral banter. Students are encouraged to look at their own opinions, beliefs, and ideas critically. Students will also be encouraged to factually support and defend all statements.
Additionally, as the classroom teacher, I will encourage students to participate as active members of the community and a democratic society. The information students learn in my classroom is meant to be shared with families, communities and anyone interested in learning. What good is learning if the information cannot be shared? Throughout the school year students will be encouraged to sponsor and contribute to happenings in the school and community. It is my hope that student’s will share their passions with everyone they encounter.
As the classroom teacher it is my duty to provide a rigorous curriculum and opportunities for all students to reach their fullest potential. All students will be held to the highest academic standards. In my classroom, there will be a heavy emphasis on reading, writing and math, as they relate to science. Cross content knowledge and collaborations with other teachers in the school and around the community will be used as much as possible. Field trips and other real world experiences will be a part of the learning environment. As the teacher, I pledge to try my hardest to make the science current, the learning meaningful and applicable to everyday life.
Overall, students are expected to challenge themselves mentally, participate in classroom activities and increase their knowledge base. Any student, parent or member of the community is encouraged to contact me with questions or concerns regarding the content, curriculum and methods of my classroom. I am willing to answer questions and include everyone in the learning the process. I ensure you that as the classroom teacher I am committed to staying abreast of new scientific developments, technology and teaching methods. I hope the learning process never stops for the students, the entire community and myself.
